Damon Taylor Turns in Another Game with at Least 100 Rushing Yards
Damon Taylor put up the most rushing yards he's had since back in October of 2023 on Friday. His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his sixth straight game with at least 100 rushing yards dating back to last season.
The win (which was Kimberly's fourth in a row) raised their record to 5-3. Taylor and Kimberly will head out on the road to square off against Gooding at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Tristan Rea Delivers Best Effort of Season
On Friday, Filer got the W thanks in part to Tristan Rea playing the best football he has all season. Rea threw for 160 yards and three touchdowns, and also rushed for 48 yards and a touchdown.
Rea and Filer have the luxury of staying home for another week and will welcome Buhl at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The Wildcats had to take a loss when they last met the Indians, but Rea had little to do with the loss: he threw for 251 yards and three touchdowns. Can he match (or beat) that performance?
